Brad,

I added electric brakes when I upgraded axles. They have worked very well 
for us so far. Don't know what to tell you if you plan to dunk in salt 
water though. We are fresh only, so far.

Have had both surge and electric on other trailers and IMHO the electric is 
a far and away more useable, controllable system.
